Renew

This necklace was pretty frustrating to make. I was trying a new technique of looping wire and I just could not do it right. After about the 4th time, I finally actually read the instructions instead of just copying off the pictures, ha ha! It was already a long day and I was determined to make my idea into reality. I was thinking after I finally finished my necklace how proud I was of myself. I didnt give up and through my frustration I made something new and pretty:). I thought about how my weekend was and how I have been burdened and focused on other things that hurt me or made me angry and I didnt like how I was feeling. It weighed heavy on my heart. I dont want to be like that or live in bitterness or unforgiveness. I want my heart to be healed and I want to be understood. I then thought of the word 'new', and looked again at the concordance in the back of my bible. I found a verse that I have heard and read many times before but today it really popped out at me and I beleive that God was speaking to me. He doesnt want to leave me where I am. He wants to as Ezekiel 35:26 says, "Give me a new heart and put a new spirit in me..." I want change and I want others to see that change. I know I am loved by my Savior and He has a wonderful plan for me but He cannot leave me as I am right now! He wants to teach me to grow closer to Him so I can grow in my relationship with others. He wants to be a part of every detail of my life. God loves me and He is my everything! He promises me in His word that He can heal every place of my heart and make it new again, and I believe HIM! Most of all... I need HIM! :)
